9% national sales tax on top of state sales tax will drive the market underground.

How will this spur the economy?

[mylife]

We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people.. must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live..

Cain Makes no sense.

In Texas the sales tax is 8 3/4% add to that 9% National sales tax. That is 17 3/4% on food and drink as well as homes and cars and every necessity in life.

Then he wants to Phase this shizzle in. Tax us first on the National sales tax while leaving the present income tax in place and hope to educate “us” that we need to repeal the federal income tax.

Has he addressed the taxation of energy?

Exactly.. can you imagine... in some states were folks are paying already nine or ten percent on some items..adding another 9 percent sales tax. Unbelievable. Once again .. I like Cain, but he needs to drop his 9-9-9 tax plan.
